There are always "Golden Moments" for Mothers along the way, but I love the one that I saw and heard yesterday. I have been sick the past couple of days, and a friend from church offered to take the boys for the afternoon. I decided that I should probably send the boys with a lunch, but wasn't up for making it all myself. So, I asked Hunter to make two Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches. He happily jumped at the opportunity to help me out.

While he was making the sandwich, I sat on the couch and was chatting with him. I mentioned that fact that we met a 10 year old boy last week who came to visit some relatives in Alaska. When his Aunt asked him to make his own sandwich for lunch, he had no idea how to do such a thing.

Hunter just looked at me with big eyes and said, "I can't believe his mom didn't teach him how to make a sandwich!" He then proceeded to tell me that he was glad that I have been teaching he and Chance how to do a few things that are important for LIFE.

It made me smile to know that if nothing else, my boys know how to make a good PB and Honey Sandwich.

It was the boys' haircut day and Hunter had previously had a mohawk for ONE WEEK just for fun. Chance opted for just a regular haircut that day because he doesn't care for the mohawk look. The following Saturday Hunter had to get his mohawk shaved off for church and his cut was going to be a short "buzz cut". Chance decided that a buzz sounded good for the summer so he lined up for a haircut from Dad.

Apparently, as Kelly was cutting Chance's hair he had a GENIUS idea to give him an "old man doo". So he did! He shaved the top off and left the sides on. We haven't laughed so hard in a LONG time. I was drooling because I was laughing so hard. Hunter was crying from the shower because he was laughing so hard. Kelly was on the floor with his knees pulled up to his chest laughing so hard-- and Chance was jumping on top of Kelly fuming mad yelling that he wanted a different haircut.

Rather than a Kindergarten graduation- Hunter's school just does a program. If you look really hard, he is in the back row on the left in a black polo shirt.

Hunter loves to sing and did a good job knowing all of the songs.

(He does like to act like he is too cool for them though!)

Hunter was given one of just a few speaking parts in the program. He got to introduce a song called GRIZZLY BEAR.He said, "Grizzly Bear is a song we love. It tells of what will happen if you waken a sleeping Grizzly...He gets very mad!!!"He did a great job on his part and was very animated and had just the right voice.We are proud of Hunter and his completion of Kindergarten.It is fun to watch him learn and grow.

How Cold Is It Today??

About Me

I am a stay at home mom with two boys, Hunter and Chance. They are the lights of my life and the craziness in my days. Kelly and I have been married since June 2002. He has helped my life to be an adventure! We love to spend time with our little guys, and with eachother. (When we get a chance!)

I love how Chance calls Earthquakes "Earthshakes" and Eyelashes "Eyeflashes"!

Hunter says to Kelly's co-worker, "My Dad is smarter than you!"

Hunter says, "Mom, you are a really good Mom, and we really love you. You are a little chubby though!"

Sunday morning we are on our way out the door to church and Hunter says, "Mom, you look like a REAL girl today in that pink dress."

We have a book we love called, NO DAVID!. Chance loves this book and we read it often. One day we were out for ice cream and this little girl we had with us picked up Chance's ice cream cone to read the wrapper. All of the sudden he pipes up and yell, "NO DAVID, NO!!!" It was sooo funny!

Hunter says as we are watching a commercial for "The Space Bag"....."Hey, I need that for my shirt drawer!" (He somehow acquired way too many shirts.)

Hunter-
"Mom, I am so tired of you! I am tired of you getting mad when I am naughty!"

Hunter (telling me a story)-
"And then there was a snow leopard named Crotch Roast...."
I couldn't stop laughing!!

Hunter-

"Mom, you must eat a lot of squash because your legs are REALLY big!"

(Due to a previous conversation that if he eats his squash, he will grow big.)

Chance-
Ball, Baby, Tank ooo, Pease, uh-oh, Dada, Untey (Hunter),
jink (drink)
He is picking up new words all the time- it is so fun!

Hunter-
"Mom come look! I peed in the toilet AND the bathtub!"

Hunter-
"Dad, you're a fat guy and you're NO fun!"

Hunter-
"Mom, the moon is like the earth...only smaller."

Hunter-
"Chancey is like....this dinner is gross!"

"Chancey is like....where are we going?"

Hunter - 5 Years Old

Hunter is LOVING preschool this year! He loves to learn and do new things. He is a great big brother and a wonderfully sweet boy to have in our family.

Chance -3 Years Old

Chance is full of fun and fire! He loves to play with his toy superheroes, dress up as a superhero, and pretend everyone is a superhero or bad guy. He is a fun addition to our family, and always has a silly story to share.
